A war of extermination will not defeat our people

Netanyahu is wrong if he believes that through his devastating bombing of the Gaza Strip, which primarily targets Palestinian civilians, and by cutting off water, electricity, fuel, and preventing food, that this and other things will make our people submit, raise the white flag, deny the resistance, and beg the occupation to lift the siege and return everything that it cut off and withholds from the Gaza Strip.


The war of annihilation carried out by the occupation army at the behest of Netanyahu and his government will only lead to an increase in the state of hostility between the Palestinian and Israeli parties, which will keep the conflict ongoing, and if it stops for periods of time, it will explode again with greater strength and determination than it is now. The continuation of the conflict will not only harm the Palestinian side, but it will also inflict heavy losses on the Israeli side, as we see now in the Al-Aqsa deluge War. Rather, the continuation of the conflict will increase these losses, and the occupying state will also pay the price as a result of its continued occupation, orgy, violations, and crimes committed against our people, their land, their holy sites, and all his property.
The continuation of the conflict also means that our people will not give up their established national rights to return, self-determination, and establishing their independent state on their national soil, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.


If the occupation believes that it will liquidate the Palestinian resistance, led by the Hamas movement, this means that it has not benefited from the experiences of history, whether the history of our people’s continuous struggle for more than a century, or against the Balfour Declaration, or against the British Mandate, or against the Jewish colonial migration to Palestine, the land of its fathers and grandfathers. At every stage of the Palestinian national struggle, there were brigades, groups and organizations emerging from among the ranks of the Palestinian people leading the struggle to achieve Palestinian national rights. Things will not be restored except with the departure of the occupation, which the more it continues to occupy, the greater and more severe its losses will be, and in the end it will be defeated, along with all its supporters and backers, from America to the colonial West.



The experiences of the peoples have proven that the peoples are victorious in the end, no matter how long or short the time may be. Instead of the end of the occupation being defeat, it would be better for it to recognize the national rights of our people and leave irrevocably from our land and our sanctities, for the country is our country and our people will not retreat from it one iota.



Our people, who have made great sacrifices on the altar of their national cause, will not be intimidated by the massacres carried out by the occupation army in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem. These massacres, which are war crimes, shame humanity, and the fate of their perpetrators is the same as the fate of everyone who committed war crimes against humanity, and history will hold their perpetrators accountable.
